Description

Gemini 4, America's First "Space Walk" - Group of 27 Original
NASA Photographs. James McDivitt and Edward White blasted off
June 3, 1965 on the first U.S. multi-day space mission designed to
rendezvous and fly in formation with the spent second stage of
their Titan II booster rocket and to show that humans could remain
in space long enough to get to the moon. Although not originally
planned for this flight, Apollo 4 would see our first astronaut
"spacewalk," a 20-minute Ed White EVA with McDivitt shooting
breathtaking photos of the event from inside the capsule. Some of
these very photos are included in this fabulous vintage collection
of official NASA 8" x 10" glossy color and B&W photos. Others
show the Gemini 4 astronauts pre-flight in their space suits and
during launch, splashdown, and recovery. A few also show the backup
crew, Jim Lovell and Frank Borman, who would be launched in Gemini
7. McDivitt later flew on Apollo 9. White was tragically killed
during an Apollo 1 training mission. An excellent group of space
photos for display. Generally very fine to excellent condition.
From the collection of renowned former physical trainer of the
astronauts Joe Garino. This lot is accompanied by a signed
certificate of authentication from Garino verifying its
provenance.

The pre and post sales experience was wonderful and flawless. Heritage has the best in-house operation I have ever seen and their people are not only professional but fun to work with, especially Steve C.

As for Heritage's online system… Yes the interface is more complex than what we are used to with SAN but what is behind that interface is amazing for sellers and buyers alike. It is real time and for a real serious auction buyer there is nothing better in the auction industry, bar none.
